Re: M4/3 combo will produce sharper images, has wider angle

The case for the first option is that I have 2 other bodies and 4 more lenses of the system and it'd be about 100$ cheaper and the case for the second option is that the combo is lighter(569g vs 508g),smaller

Insignificantly lighter without the hood but lacking 14mm equivalent. 1mm on the ultra wide end makes more difference than one might initially think.

As far as sharpness goes, dpreview studio comparison uses stopped down sharpest primes to eliminate the influence of the lenses as much as possible. With the actual lenses you are considered M43 will produce sharper images despite being mounted on a camera with 16MP sensor.

This is actually a recurring theme, that M43 beats APS-C rivals sharpness wise because of superior lenses.

While I think that is an exaggeration, oft-repeated on this forum, in this case that is true.
